Premier Ralph Klein confirmed Wednesday morning that he has submitted his resignation letter to the Alberta Tory party - effective today - signalling the start to the long-awaited leadership race. Klein told reporters at an event at Heritage Park that he filed his letter to the party about a week ago. However, it didn't kick in until today so his wife Colleen could release a crystal meth report, unveiled on Tuesday, from the committee she co-chaired. Until the next leader is sworn in, it'll be "business as usual," Klein said Wednesday.
